...The end before the beginning...



Fernando seemed surprised at how much he had danced and especially with Cheryl as he heard her name from her friend's loud cheering.

But seeing the rest of the guys slowly get off the dance floor gave him the chance to see her more clearly and he was impressed with how confident she was when she danced

"so miss Cheryl what's the occasion for partying?" Fernando got closer to her side as he asked her and she looked at him with a smirk

"who needs a reason to party? Life's a grand party itself and I'm not saying this cuz I'm drunk!" She giggled and he flashed a smile at her which she stared for a while as the song slowed down

"What about you Fernando?" She asked to divert her mind from thinking about his pretty face "hmm I'd say it's a well deserved holiday after work" and she nodded at him with a chuckle

"work sucks" she stated "not for me, I love my job" Fernando casually said and she looked confused "oh really then that's great! What do you do anyways?" She asked again as she swayed a little

"I race in formula one, for the team alpine f1 right now. You know that?" He asked and she shakes her head "ah well good for me or you'd be fangirling over me" he commented and Cheryl gave him a smug look

"that's quite an interesting way to say 'I've got an inflated ego' huh" she snapped back in a sarcastic way and he laughed it off and she was about to say something when Veronica came beside her

"time to go Cheri! He's here let's go get you sobered up a little, oh see ya later Fernando" Veronica announced as she dragged her friend off the dance floor and into the washroom to freshen her up

"vernie I don't wanna go on the datteeee" Cheryl droned as her friend fixed her makeup and straightened her dress "come on now he's a really big deal cheri and I know you will love him just go and be yourself" she motivated the girl who now was sobering up thanks to puking her guts out

"oh he's in the vip lounge now! Go get a man cheri and most of all please don't fuck up" Veronica gives her a slight push towards the lounge and leave without a word.

Cheryl stood in front of two bodyguards who looked at her with zero expression "pass?" One of them asked and she said the password which was given to her by vernie after which the two men moved and let her in.

For some reason Fernando had his eyes glued to her and though he felt weird about it he felt like it was worth being weird as he sees her enter the vip lounge.

Could she be a stripper? He had the thoughts but she looked too unbothered to try and seduce him so why did she go into the vip lounge and who was there to meet her?

"You look lost nando, everything alright? Some one special on your mind?" Seb asked with a wide smile as if he knew it was her he was thinking of "nope, just thinking of having another go karting place opened and retiring, alpine is not giving me the best of it."

He casually says and Seb looks shocked but pats his back in disbelief thinking the Spaniard is probably trying to fuck with him "and I'm gonna be the F.I.A boss next year" he joked before leaving the man alone with his drink

"then I hope we get equal engines" he whispered to nobody as he stared at the dance floor.

When Cheryl entered the area she didn't know where to go and saw a waiter "Umm excuse me where is the-" when Cheryl was about to ask she was cut off

"your here for the blind date?" A man's voice from behind her made her turn and she stood shocked "holy shit! Mads Mikkelsen" she gasped seeing the actor in front of her who graced her with a smile

"I was right then, you must be Cheryl D'Souza" he placed his hand out for a handshake and with a nervous smile she placed her hand in his "shall we?" He spoke again making Cheryl aware of his presence as she thought she was imagining him

"ye-yes" she hesitated while speaking since he was literally every girl's dream and she couldn't believe that she got to be on a date with him

"I was told that your quite a cheerful soul and I'm glad I got to see that when you danced, I must say it was very attractive" Mads got close to her as they walked as he whispered and Cheryl stopped in her tracks, her face getting red

"you saw that!" She asked embarrassed since she was practically dancing like an animal "yes, was I not supposed to see that miss D'Souza ?"

He smirked seeing her blush, he found her shy side to be quite adorable "no no, it's just that I went a little overboard since I drank" she explained not looking at him since the man made her tremble and blush even before entering the lounge

"having fun is why we drink for darling now come let's sit, I'm eager to know more of you" he guided her inside the lavish lounge and made her sit after which he sat beside her making her a nervous again

"yea right, so Mr. Mikkelsen why try blind dating?" She wanted to divert from her drunken dancing story so badly that she asked a stupid question

"so I could find you." He simply said and Cheryl laughed at how cheesy Mads was in real life "I'm serious you know, I saw you at a club dancing and I was mesmerised, I thought to approach you that time but you vanished and well, I tried finding you until I saw your friend's dm on my page and though I didn't know if it was going to be you I took the risk and gladly it was you"

he explained and now Cheryl was stunned.

Not only did Mads say that he liked her but he tried finding her "I am flattered Sir knowing that you could have gone for any other woman" she stated and he laughed

"I did not want to after my divorce honestly, but something compelled me to try again" he sighed and she nodded as she had seen the news of his divorce that happened last year

"but Mr Mikkelsen, I'm not sure if you know this but I'm on 22" she felt like she had to tell him so as to avoid having the issue of being treated like a child out

" is that so? I knew you weee young but I guessed you to be around 28 or reaching 30s. Your friend seemed desperate to get you dates that I thought you might be neglecting a romantic relationship" he reasoned and she laughed

"yea she's nuts, I'm not bothered as much as she is that I'm not dating" he looked at her with a smile "if your uncomfortable with our age difference then I will not take this any further since I value your opinion, as for me it's not a problem seeing how you yourself addressed this rather than keeping it from me" he placed his hand on hers and she could only nod

"so let's start with knowing each other?" She proposed as she couldn't deny the attraction she had towards him

"sure, and you should call me Mads from now" he demanded and she laughed "and you may call me Cheryl" the two sparked conversations that made them laugh and enjoy that night.
